Coming in June!
Be grateful the nights are shorter in June because you’ll be up all night reading (and listening for ghosts or worse, if I’m honest)! Coming June 15 from Barrio Blues Press and Jesú Estrada! And you will get more cool art from Phrique!
April reads
Current reads! Poppy Z. Brite, David Grann, Cordwainer Smith and Peter Gay. I feel like I upped my bookmark game here. Also, you don’t often see extensive quotes of Mozart’s scatological humor, which would fill volumes on their own, apparently.
More current reads
The sun is peeking out and Dr. John is singing Tipitina on shuffle play. It’s another week and these are my current reads from Liz Hand, Ian Rankin and Werther Dell’edera, Amanda Headlee, and Levitt/Dubner. Hopefully, a couple will be reviewed for Uncomfortably Dark Disciples this month.

Hopefully, a couple will be reviewed for Uncomfortably Dark Disciples this month.
